Episode Description

This week's episode is a first for me, where we try to solve a murder live on the show. I'm joined by American politician, Mike Gatto, who served in the California State Assembly from 2010 to 2016. 

Mike shares the harrowing story of his father's murder in 2013, exploring the complexities of the investigation and the impact on his family.
